___________________________________________________________________________________________
The Malwa Sultanate (Persian: سلطنتِ مالوہ) was a late medieval Islamic sultanate in the Malwa region, covering the present day Indian states of Madhya Pradesh and south-eastern Rajasthan from 1392 to 1562. It was founded by Dilawar Khan, who following Timur's invasion and the disintegration of the Delhi Sultanate, in 1401/2, made Malwa an independent realm. In 1561, the Sultanate was conquered by the Mughal empire from its last ruler, Baz Bahadur and it became a subah of the empire.
Nasir Shah took great interest in his coinage judging from the number of special issues that were issued during his reign and from the changes he made to coinage system during the latter part of his reign. While maintaining the square format typical of his father's reign, he also issued coins in round shape and one in diamond shape.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nasir Shah, who was the last ruler of the Sultanate of Malwa before it was annexed by the Mughal Empire. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance and the fact that it was only produced for a short period of time.
